Hello fellow Plushy fans! I hope you're all well, sadly, I am not I have a cold (I had to get the COVID-19 test yesterday, but I've got the results already and they're negative, do yay for that) and my legs hurt

However, I just popped onto Insta and saw this:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEZeyBqq4Za - Back in the old days where Russian Test Skates weren't held in full stadiums. OK, it's rather slow, but I do love the jumps. Also this program makes me smile, only Plushy could skate to "The Best of Himself" and be able to get away with it Also at 2A-2A combo - Mishin strikes again

In the present

https://www.instagram.com/p/CERw1fmq0-z - Plushy wishing Aliona a Happy Birthday (look at that smile! Reminds me of the weirdest criticism US commentators used to make, that Plushy never smiled. It's like "He's at a serious competion, guys, not a party!")

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYoGH8AVf0 - Sasha writes about his day in this one, pretty full-on, but he seems to enjoy it, so good for him!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPotv0I3sI - A blast from the past, two years ago in the Swan Lake show.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZgZgzKncq - Special delivery! I honestly have no idea what's going on here.

Ooo, that was a good prescription indeed! Always a fan of Dark Eyes! That was boss and the crowd at the end they almost stormed the ice!

But yes, I am getting better, my body aches are gone yay! Of course now I'm coughing, which is no fun at all.

However, I must contribute if I'm posting soooo...

Coachshenko content:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbguY8KeCQ - Helping Artem with the 4T-3T. Plushy is, of course, the master of this combo. Artem makes a 4T-2T and if Google Translate can be trusted it seems Coachshenko is advising Artem not to look defeated if he doesn't get the combo 100% right. This is fab advice if you ask me, one of my favourite things about Plushy's skating is if he made a mistake he'd just shake it off and most of the time you'd forget he'd even made one.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcdenpn8O8 - Yana on a pier I like her outfit.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEW5HjVIpRX - Oh yeah, I missed posting this yesterday, Sasha in the garden of Casa Plush, picking...grapes? berries? Something like that.

There we go, hope you enjoyed!

I believe Artem made mistake they planned 4S+3T but he landed in 4S+2T. Plushy said Artem doesn't care about it in competition, only Artem knows what was the plan..thus that mistake is not mistake...

I saw this yesterday and was going to post about it, but ran out of time, thanks for posting it!

Sasha looks like he's ready for serious business, love the jacket.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmN-ljochj - Sasha got this certificate for his first day

I have to get ready for work, but this popped up on my YouTube alerts:

https://youtu.be/4CGtjqWXDQo - Euros 2004 SP - those Flamenco steps, boooosssss I wonder what the commentator is saying!

Right, work calls so off I go! Stay healthy, fellow Plushy fans, see you next time.

Hello fellow Plushy fans!

I hope you're all well, I'm pretty much recovered from my cold, so yay!

However, I'm intrigued, according to the FSU message board that skate Plushy posted was the infamous closed test skate which convinced the powers that be at the Russian Figure Skating Fed to send Plushy to Sochi. Could this be? If so how badly was poor Maxim K skating at the time?! Although, of course Plushy got it together for the Team event and was epic, but I wouldn't have bet money on it from that footage. On the other hand he did land his jumps

I just figured it was the regular start of season test skates and Plushy was a bit rusty because of that. What say you, Plushyfan, is your Russian good enough to figure out the mystery?

Right, I'm actually at work so I better wrap this up here! See you next time and stay healthy.

Yes, it was, of course. I was surprised when I saw it because it wasn't too great skating. I remember the Rus Fed didn't allow to post this video for Yana, she told it in her interview then. He just showed the jumps front of the Russian coaches who have decided who will travel to Sochi.

I have seen Kovtun at ECH Budapest live. He was very unsecure and the federation wanted to the team gold so much thus they sent Plushy.

 

[eliana]

This is a program after a year since the Sochi Olympics, when the screw broke in his back. Triple axle, double triple combination and another triple jump. Lysacek, the Vancouver champion, was only in fifth place. Incredible! And Plushy won!
He is truly the KING

I did go and watch Maxim K's SP and FP at 2014 Euros and...yeah, I mean he wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but dude where's your presence? Still, the Russian Figure Skating Fed didn't even consider Sergei and old man Menshov though? I'd be so offended if I were them.

However as a Plushy fan I can't be too mad, loved seeing him at Sochi.

:luv17: My eyes are blessed by this. I actually gasped at that 3A it was huge! And the landing was so elegant! But I remember that event which alas I couldn't watch because I couldn't figure out how, but I was following Twitter this baited breath and totally cheered when Plushy won.

In the present!

Yana's post on IG. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwGWXJqgwL/ I said I'm not her fan but what is good is good. She is criticised many times for everything! ( the critic and the malicious rude opinion are very common property of the Russians) her response next to the pic:

Google translate:

"The arms are thick, the legs are shapeless, everything is photoshop! By the way, it can be compared with a morning photo, the hair is terrible, the video is bad, I left my husband and children - "echidna" and left with a friend on vacation! I guess I rushed to my great-grandchildren in Sochi))! Look, I’m not blocking you, I don’t mind, but I’m just SHINE! The main thing is that you are all better than me, you are perfect, but for some reason you are subscribed to me, and not me to you, but I want to subscribe to you, but I can't even see your faces, all profiles are closed!))) So, they discussed me, dear ones, now we are carefully looking at the watermelon and switch to it)) ������ Well, we are waiting for the evening, we are preparing with Sanya �� for you) ����"

“The last week has been incredibly stressful both physically and mentally. But we held out. It's always easier together.

First of all, I want to say thank you for inviting the great athlete to the team, and now our chief Evgeni Plushenko. Evgeny Viktorovich, you charge a million percent with your energy, looking at you it is impossible to stop.

You give freedom and strength. Thank you for your trust and the opportunity to learn and develop every day. Seeing you on ice with your children every day and every minute is the greatest happiness and unreal inspiration!

Sergey Rozanov , I won't say much, you know everything yourself. I want the world to see your performances and your work sooner. And, of course, it is a great responsibility to stand next to you. Well, people say that we look beautiful overboard.

Thanks to Dmitry Mikhailov, there is a lot of work ahead, but we will definitely manage it.

Thanks to my girls, you are strong, beautiful, talented. You are hard workers! It's good that viewers don't see everything that you go through every day. I think the stands would weep with me. Thank you for giving people joy and pleasure to look at and admire you.

Thanks to Yana Rudkovskaya for her support, for important words and for your trust! Everything you do for sports is a completely new level! Further more! With God!" - wrote the Ilinykh.

This colorful news before the great excitement

https://www.sports.ru/gymnastics/1088883080.html

Laysan Utyasheva: “At the training camp we were with impossible handsome men. All the girls said to me: introduce Plushenko, with the fencers "

Laysan Utyasheva, two-time European champion in rhythmic gymnastics, spoke about male attention during her sports career.

“We were with such handsome men impossible at the training camp. All the girls said to me: “Well, introduce me, please. Introduce Plushenko , introduce the fencers. " The national team is not only gymnasts. There are gods: hockey players, all those billionaires. And I was not deprived of male attention.

My relationship with my dad didn't work out, so I sublimated - I talked with the elders. I didn’t have a dislike syndrome, ”Utyasheva said. :thumbsup:


Yessss! Many persons are surprised how goodlooking Plushy is live! His nose is not disturbing at all!


EDIT: I remembered when he was on show in Taiwan. The fans' organizer Anne aka Melody's words: https://melodylin.tumblr.com/post/24753510385/everything-is-great-today-except-the-inundated

"Everything is fine today (except for the melted ice). Zhenya's performance is amazing. Storm, frantic and flawless, was no doubt the culmination of the first part of the show. Tango is great too (although I prefer the full version of Tango de Roxane). He even did a 3 + 3 cascade!

In addition, the expression on his face is subtle and electrifying, impossible to record and convey. You need to see him live to appreciate this magic!
After the show, we rushed to the Sheraton to wait for the stars. Zhenya and his general preparation coach arrived after 23:00. He fulfilled all the wishes of the fans. When I asked for a handshake, he put down ("hung on his hand") the bag and held out his hand to me. His hand is a little cool, but soft. Needless to say, how handsome he is… those azure eyes, bordered by long golden lashes, and his extraordinary nose, I must say, looks good on his face ))))
Then I finally got Marton's autograph. Marton is the most polite person I've ever met! He also revealed important news - he is already writing music for the Sochi Olympics.
I suppose I should start planning my trip to Sochi in 2014 right now"

Aw...I found other words of Melody:

https://evgeni-plushenko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=323&p=70290&hilit=Taiwan#p70290

Anne : plush is so nice and gives signatures to every fans.
He tells us he loves figure-skating ,loves sport .In the future skating school will be opened and he invites us to go to class.He will teach us by himself.


Do you remember I tried to convince some posters here he is a world star he is not that skater who is star in his country as Kwan..? I have many similar stories...

For some reason I find that quote most amusing, now I'm wondering about those fencers!

Yessss! Many persons are surprised how goodlooking Plushy live! His nose is not disturbing at all!

Indeed! I think Plushy's nose suits him really well! Own that nose, Plushy!

EDIT: I remembered when he was on show in Taiwan. The fans' organizer Anne aka Melody's words: https://melodylin.tumblr.com/post/24753510385/everything-is-great-today-except-the-inundated

What a fun story! Although it does remind me I'll probably never get to see Plushy live, which is most sad. However, I'm sure if I ever meet him at a meet and greet thing I'd be too busy giggling like a fool to say anything. I'd have to bring my mother along for support!

OMG, I wonder if any of them are going to take Plushy up on his offer, that'd be so fun!

Do you remember I tried to convince some posters here he is a world star he is not that skater who is star in his country as Kwan..? I have many similar stories...

I don't, but my memory is just terrible! Although, I do remember knowing who Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya were before knowing who Plushy was. That could be because Aussie TV was more interested in showing women's skating than men's, at least that's how it seemed.

But hello fellow Plushy fans, today is not only the test skates, but also Plushy and Yana's wedding anniversary!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBy0TFqKLU - Plushy's post for the occasion.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBxggKFmY1 - Yana's post with more photos, the last one cracks me up a bit because look at Papa Plush in the back there. Poor guy, they should have put him in front!

In other news, Plushy has some Insta stories up about the new blades the John Wilson people have sent him and Aliona K. They're made of carbon and are super light, which Plushy is very impressed with I can practically hear him thinking "In my day skates felt like lead weights, none of this crazy tech you kids have these days."

Also another blast from the past from Vera https://youtu.be/RJn-4IsL1ak - Plushy at practice before the 2013 Russian Nats. Look at those boss jumps! Such height! And the arm movements, best armography in the business. Tsar of the Ice we salute you

Righto I better be off I need to do my laundry before the test skates.

Good luck to Sasha T, Aliona and the Academy team today!

 

[eliana]

It's wonderful! Evgheni is not about beauty. Evgheni has a fantastic charisma, he is charming, he is not banal. Plushy makes you turn your head after him. I have always seen him as a high class dancer, graceful and very confident. And yes, he was very successful with women who admired and loved him. When it enters the ice, it catches our eye like a magnet. His team says that and I don't think they say that just to flatter him. It's ridiculous because I forgot about him for ten years and now I've become a big fan. I have great emotions for this skating test. I don't think I'll watch Plushy's girls live. I'm too nervous...

 

[plushyfan]

I'm so proud of the girls and the whole team! Congrats!

They were at the test skate https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCm2hnl1t2/

I have great emotions for this skating test. I don't think I'll watch Plushy's girls live. I'm too nervous...

I watched right up to the end of the first group when I noticed the lateness of the hour and the fact I'd never be able to sleep if I watched Group 2!

I kept worrying that Plushy and Eteri would literally run into each other and the awkwardness would cause me to die inside . That doesn't seem to have happened though.

I'm so proud of the girls and the whole team! Congrats!

They were at the test skate https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCm2hnl1t2/

Aww that's so sweet! It must be so exciting not only to be there, but know those two girls train in the same rink as you.

In other news, how good was that Coach cam?! Plushy was so engaged! I think he might have swallowed his gum.

I really liked Sasha T's skate! She looked so solid and her 2A is huge, fingers crossed for 3A eventually.

Not sure about Aliona, not a fan of the music (I couldn't hear anything about a crown in it ), but I think it could come together pretty well.

I'm disappointed that I probably won't be able to watch the FS tonight, I was looking forward to more Coachshenko cam! Oh well, I can always catch up on the stream later I guess.

Good luck to Team Plush tonight!
